Hermes

So Zeus is in error, and you do not enrich deserving pevsais according to his pleasure?

Plutus

My dear fellow, how can he expect it? He knows I am blind, and he sends me groping about for a thing so hard to detect, and so nearly extinct this long time, that a Lynceus would have his work cut out spying for its dubious remains: So you see, as the good are few, and cities are crowded with multitudes of the bad, I am much more likely to come upon me latter in my rambles, and they keep me in their nets.

Hermes

But when you are leaving them, how do you find escape so easy? you do not know the way.

Plutus

Ah, there is just one occasion which brings me quickass of eye and foot; and that is flight.

v.1.p.41
